India to roll out 'no-fly' rules for unruly passengers

The Indian government released proposed draft rules for a national 'no-fly list' that will hand out lengthy bans to unruly passengers.

Civil Aviation Minster Ashok Gajapathi Raju said the government will seek comments during a public consultation period of one month, and aims to have the draft guidelines ready by the end of June 2017.

Under the plan, unruly behaviour will be categorised in three levels, with a sliding scale to the flying ban depending on the severity of the incident.
